Did you look between your hot and cold drains on the frame? Yours is newer so it should have the white drain stubbed through inbetween those two hoses if I'm understanding what you are looking for.

Tom,
Ken,

Thanks, I'll go out and look in a little while. Just got back from Home Depot. I bought a valve to throw on the back "mystery drain line".

Brad, yes I looked there but all I have is the hot and cold drains and a huge glob of black silicone sealant all around the 2 and in between.....

By the way, what I did find when I started investigating is a sewer hose storage tube mounted behind what I believe is the black tank. Never even knew the tube was there. It's a short one (4" x 4 foot long) but I can use it for extra sewer hose. I already installed (2) 6" PVC fence posts with caps on the back so now I have even more!!!!!

A bonus!

My viper hose barely fits in there because they dont compress as tight as others. I added a 2nd longer tube as soon as I got home. None of that stuff in the basement for me.

I found the sewer hose storage hose RW put in after I installed my own behind the back pumper. Now I have 2!

I saw it but it was too short and didn't fit the couplings on the Rhino.

I took delivery of my 38gk a week ago. We have moved in full time. I am filling the fresh water manually. I can tell you the tank will only fill 1/2 to 3/4 full. The gauge inside will show full and you go out to check and water is still running out white hose. You can check the gauge an hour later and it is has drained to 3/4 and the first you use a little water it reads 1/2 tank.

How do you empty the fresh water tank besides turning the water on in the inside of trailer

You can use the low point valve under the utility cabinet but it is very slow. I just turn my shower on and walk away, but that also is slow. With 100 gallons of water and a 2-3 gallon per minute flow rate from the pump it can take a while.

Yeah that's what I thought. Dealer was very gratious on filling our fresh water with Nasty tasting stuff and leaving our other tanks full when we picked ours up. That was fun going home with.

There is a fresh water tank drain under the trailer. It is a valve that is by itself. On my rig it is slightly in front of the blue vent line and separate from the hot, cold and 2nd vent line.

Wow that's cool I was wondering what that was for.

Thanks!

I always travel with a full freshwater tank as a contingency. I have found it useful for giving the redwood and truck a bath, as our water from home does not leave spots.

When I leave for home - I open the tank drain and drain the hot water tank. It can take an hour to drain out no the road. Good part is nobody follows you very close when they see you are leaking
